Three Muskeeteers Rapier Sword

The Three Musketeers Rapier Sword by Marto of Toledo Spain with cup hilt is typical of the 17th century, realized after the popular tale by Alexandre Dumas "The three musketeers", set in that time. The narrow and pointed steel blade is fit to thrust. The cast metal hilt has the cup ornated with 24K Gold and Silver plated figures in relief. On the quillons and knuckleguard are depicted the Three Musketeers; their faces are also reproduced on the pommel. The Handgrip is wrapped by a Gold plated metal string with little fleur-de-lys applied on it. This sword is a magnificent 46 inch rapier constructed to honor these three brave men.

In 1622 King Luis XIII of France established the special corp of "The Musketeers", with the first Count of Treville in charge of them. This corp was formed by 100 Musketeers, one cornet, one sergeant, one lieutenant and one captain. Among them, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, known as "THE THREE MUSKETEERS", stood out due to their exploits. Together with the brave D'Artegnan, the three musketeers were the protectors of the Queen Anne, against the conspirations from the treasonous  Cardinal Richelieu.
